Could do a variation of the old biker thing of dragging a Honda into a field and charging $1 per swing with a sledgehammer. Old biker thing? We did it for our grade school Halloween carnival! It was the biggest money maker we had! Why do little boys love smashing things?

"I've always wanted to get a junk car and destroy it with the backhoe" Most fun thing that you can do with an hydraulic excavator, IMO. I have had three that were over 50,000 lbs so they make short work of a car. I took a rusty full size Ford sedan and folded it in half, front to back. Put the right track up on the trunk lid and hooked the teeth under the front bumper and bent it up. Then bashed the front down on the trunk with the bucket and lifted the whole thing with the bucket and thumb. I was quite amazing to the spectators how easy it was to demolish a good size car. We were demoing a 1400 sq foot two story house and had it all in the basement in under 17 minutes. So I squished the car between loading the dump trucks. Sure was fun.
